Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has Addison's disease. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cortisol replacement therapy is the primary treatment for Addison’s disease. Low-sodium diets are inappropriate, fluid excess is unlikely, and hypoglycemia, not hyperglycemia, is a concern.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's laboratory results and sees that their hemoglobin A1C is 9%. Which of the following statements from the nurse is appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An A1C of 9% indicates high average blood glucose over 2–3 months, increasing complication risks. It does not specifically reflect post-meal levels, low glucose, or instability.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Abdominal insulin injections ensure consistent absorption. Post-meal glucose checks, unrestricted ice cream, and weight loss causing hypoglycemia are incorrect.
